I spent a nice couple hours around Wallingford this morning. The
community gardens (part of Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park) were
active. Highlights were an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER and a few LINCOLN'S
SPARROWS.
Nearby Mackenzie Reservoir had 240 Canada Geese (no idea how many of
these are early migrants versus local breeders) plus my first RUDDY
and RING-NECKED DUCKS of the season.
I'll get a couple photos of the Orange-crowned onto my blog sometime soonish.
